Reason in an Uncertain World

Nyāya Philosophers on Argumentation and Living Well

Beschreibung

Reason in an Uncertain World is a guide to critical thinking with an ancient Indian philosophical tradition that took logic as seriously as it did meditation, ethics, and personal cultivation. The book explains how this tradition, known as Ny¿ya, brings together ways of knowing with ways of living and relieving suffering. For the Ny¿ya philosophers, knowing and reflecting on our knowing is an individual and communal practice. It involves vigorous debate as well as trusting reliable testifiers, seeing with our own eyes as well as drawing complex inferences about the unseen.
